how to collapse a subform

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

When entering records in a form, is there a way I can temporarily
expand/collapse an entire subform, depending on whether or not I need to
enter data into it? Right now, the subform is always displayed and takes up
too much space on the screen.

Thanks!
Joe

Not easily - but consider putting a Tab Control on your form. Put the
mainform controls on the first page of the tab control, and the
Subform on the second. That way you can select whichever page you need
at the moment.
